Question Types

Master It Tutorials (MI) show how to solve a similar problem in multiple steps by providing direction along with derivation so students understand the concepts and reasoning behind the problem solving.

Tools for Enriching Calculus (TEC) questions let calculus students interact with animations that deepen their understanding of key concepts by helping them visualize the concepts they are learning.

Video Examples (VE) ask students to watch a section level video segment and then answer a question related to that video. Consider assigning the video example as review prior to class or as a lesson review prior to a quiz or test.

Just In Time (JIT) problems are ideal for students who need to remediate their algebra and trigonometry skills. They are carefully selected prerequisite review problems tied to specific calculus problems and assignable at the section level.

QuickPrep (QP) questions review the concepts of linear functions to help improve student readiness for calculus. Assign any of these QuickPrep modules early in the course or whenever the review is most needed.

Active Examples (AE) guide students through the process needed to master a concept.

Explore It (EI) modules help students visualize the course's complex topics through hands-on exploration and interactive simulation.
